Scope and Content View from south-east showing village of Port Ellen, Islay, Argyll and Bute Port Ellen was one of several planned villages established on Islay during the early 19th century as a herring fishery. Founded in 1821 by Walter Frederick Campbell, it was originally named Port Ellinor in honour of his wife. Fishing returns were initially disappointing, and not until the 1840s did the village become Islay's largest single community with a population of about 1,000. The population remained around this figure for the rest of the 19th century. The architecture in the village consisted of single- and two-storeyed, three-bay harled terraced houses. A high proportion of the original houses still survive relatively unaltered. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
